Let’s face it. Even the shyest people out there sometimes fantasize about being an absolute dynamo in the bedroom, and with good reason. Sexually adventurous people aren’t just better at pleasing their partners. They’re also unafraid to try new things and pursue the kind of sex they’d really like to be having.
But knowing you’d like to branch out in the bedroom and get in touch with your inner sex kitten is one thing. Figuring out how to finally get there is another, especially if you’ve always been on the shy side. Thankfully, anyone can learn to be more adventurous in the bedroom. It’s just a matter of taking the right approach. Here are some tips to get you started.
Adopt a “just say yes” to sex.
No, we’re not suggesting that you force yourself to do things that make you genuinely uncomfortable. We are saying that the first step toward a sexually adventurous lifestyle is to keep an open mind about trying new things.
Consider telling your partner that you’re ready to branch out more, and ask them to lovingly help you get there. From there, make an effort to at least consider trying things your partner suggests, as well as making a few suggestions of your own. You never know what might turn out to be a lot of fun.
Fall madly in love with your body.
Confidence is the key to the uninhibited, adventurous sex you’d like to have, so it’s time to start working on any insecurities you have about your body. Stop comparing yourself to other people, and start consciously thinking about things you love about your body.
One great way to boost confidence in not only your looks but your sex appeal and bedroom prowess is to practice healthy self-care. Work out regularly, eat right, and practice positive self-talk. Choose clothing, hairstyles, and grooming options that make you feel fantastic. You’ll be feeling sexier and more desirable before you know it.
Devote more time to self-pleasure.
If you’re like most people, you probably already masturbate, at least occasionally. But when was the last time you really laid back and made it a point to enjoy the experience to the fullest? If you’ve never done that, it’s officially time to start. And if you have, it’s time to do it more often.
Before you can get the most out of sex with a partner, you need to learn everything there is to know about what turns you on and how your body experiences pleasure. Upgrade your masturbation sessions to full head-to-toe explorations of your body. Experiment with adult toys and different types of stimulation. Watch porn or read erotica to discover more about your turn-ons and go-to fantasies, as well.
Get comfortable talking dirty.
The more comfortable you become talking sexually, the easier it will eventually be to follow up with some seriously spicy actions. If you’re comfortable going straight to talking dirty when you’re actually in bed with your partner, definitely go for it. But if you’re on the shy side, it might be easier to get used to sexting first.
When you’re sexting, you have time to think about and edit what you say before you hit send. You can take as many sexy selfies as you want to get that perfect angle. And you have the security blanket of a screen between the two of you to help with any bashful feelings. Plus, sexting can be a great way to set the scene for physical encounters later.
Start experimenting a bit at a time.
When you’re ready to start mixing things up in the bedroom, positions are an excellent place to start. They’re relatively simple ways to freshen things up and great options for exploring new sensations. Plus, actively experimenting with positions naturally leads to spicier, more adventurous marriages.
Add more to your routine as you become comfortable. Think new lingerie, new sex acts, more frequent oral sex, and so forth. Bringing toys into the mix is a great way to kick things up a notch, too.
Make ongoing experimentation fun.
Remember, mindset is critical for being the sexually adventurous person you’ve always wanted to be. Don’t view experimentation as a chore – something you need to do to keep your sex life happy, healthy, and satisfying. Look for ways to make it fun and turn it into a treat you and your partner can share.
